Western Style Leather Purses

Western style leather purses for women may have a durable, rustic leather exterior in common, but there are many designs to choose from. Many bags combine a distinctly western feel with other elements for purses that are as individual as you are. If you love details like tooled leather, fringe, or rugged studs, a western bag is right for you.
